Illuminated Living: Vexed With Vices

It's Your Life Take it Back

Some people should drink a shot of “COMPASSION”, smoke a “JOY” joint, deep vein some “LOVE, and eat a whole plate of “REDEMPTION ”. ~Illuminated Living~

Has your vice become a stumbling block? To live your best life you must recognize when your vice is hindering you from doing all you could be doing with your life. When vices begin to hurt others around you, you must take responsibility for the choices you make.

No human being is perfect. We must make a habit of course correcting. “One key quality for a leader is the ability to get back on track when something has gone awry.” from Bloomberg BusinessWeek “Course-Correcting for Growth”.

To continue to do the same thing and expect different results is insanity.

Can you stop overeating? Can you control your drinking? Can you put the cigarette down? The real answer is "of course you can." The issue is will you? Your dark side, which enables the vice, will answer the same way every time. "No, you can't do it. It's too hard. You're screwed." The dark side is convincing you to keep the vice and stay small in your life. What does this get you? You get to avoid feeling fear. You get to avoid the challenge. You get to avoid rejection. You get to avoid feeling your heart. Quit listening to your dark side. It's fighting for the vice, not your happiness. Read More | Quit Your Vices and Find Happiness

Your life is not your own you have been purchased at the highest cost. Ephesians1:7 NIV states, “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.” You have been called to serve and love just as the one who died for you. My fellow believers it is time for us to rise and fulfill our job descriptions. Take the next steps to be a better person so that we can serve in our fullest capacity. May we always tell each other the truth in love and hold each other accountable.
